Now Optogenetics 2.0 is adding to neuroscientists’ bag of brain-control tricks. In the Caltech study, neurotechnologist Mikhail Shapiro and his colleagues substituted designer drugs for the ...

In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

An experimental technique called optogenetics is starting to change the way researchers look at the brain. The tool allows them to switch entire brain circuits on and off using light, and may help ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to ...

Implant-free optogenetics minimizes brain damage during neuronal stimulation. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2020 / 04 / 200429111141.htm ...

Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold ...

The researchers used optogenetics to conduct analysis of protein phosphorylation sites (phosphoproteomics) on neurons in the search for a reverse marker of brain activity.

The study, a tour de force in bioengineering, comes after two decades of research on brain-to-brain synchrony in people. By Virginia Hughes Late one evening last March, just before the coronavirus ...

Flipping the switch on fewer than 500 neurons dramatically reduces the alcohol consumption of mice. This novel finding could lead to new targets for therapeutics.

Neuroscientists created a method to track when brain cell activity decreases or switches off after a burst of activity using optogenetics and proteomics.
